Lyrics: dohun

Composed by: dohun/Kwon Da-hyun/EUGENE/Kim Chae-hyun

Tell me why you gonna leave me tonight

There's no way to hide, it feels like déjà vu

Even if all my time falls apart

It's okay, your world is nothing but 3D colors

You told me I can't love here

How dare you say that "love is"

Again

In the night where everything is forgotten

Even if I leave

You still have to be right here

Baby you cut your wrist and always

Tell me to kill myself

Still want me to love you?

Still want me to love you?

I don't care how much you love me

You keep tearing me in pieces

Tell me now

Still want me to love you

No oh oh

Cause you'll never shine

As long as you are here

How could I ever

Sleep peacefully again?

It suddenly flashes into my mind

Even when I try my best to suppress it all

Baby you cut your wrist and always

Tell me to kill myself

Still want me to love you?

Still want me to love you?

I don't care how much you love me

You keep tearing me in pieces

Tell me now

Still want me to love you

No oh oh

Let's just forget baby

Beneath this tilted floor

After countless attempts

I'll try to forget everything

In a fleeting moment

You force your way back into my life

I'd rather you just die

Girl why you want me to love you

Tell me why you gonna leave me tonight

There's no way to hide 사라진 건 기시감

내 모든 시간이 부서져도

괜찮아 네 세상은 3D 색깔 뿐이야

You told me I can't love here

How dare you say the "love is"

Again

전부 잊혀진 밤 속

내가 떠나도

여전히 넌 여기에 있어야만 해

Baby you cut your wrist and always

Tell me to kill myself

Still want me to love you?

Still want me to love you?

I don't care how much you love me

You keep tearing me in pieces

Tell me now

Still want me to love you

No oh oh

Cause you'll never shine

너가 있는 한

어떻게 내가 맘 편히

잠들겠어 다시

불현듯 떠올라

애써 전부 눌러봐도

Baby you cut your wrist and always

Tell me to kill myself

Still want me to love you?

Still want me to love you?

I don't care how much you love me

You keep tearing me in pieces

Tell me now

Still want me to love you

No oh oh

Let's just forget baby

기울어진 바닥 아래

수많은 시도 끝에

모든걸 잊어볼게

찰나에 순간에

넌 날 또 비집어 내

차라리 죽어줘

Girl why you want me to love you
